Kids, Kinder Eggs And M16 Assault Riffles

It decieves the perception of viewers by portraying mass murders as a small issue that makes headlines frequently but cannot be solved. As for viewers, they must develop a bigger perspective and should not allow a few anchors to stop us from ending violence because they say our society is headed for self-inflicted extinction. Although, the article is conducted very bluntly, sucessfully plays with the right emotions of a reader and combined mixtures of facts and opinion to convince his idea, this article contain biases. For example Adam used several reports and facts about gun control laws in several countries, then gave his opinions on those laws. He also indicated a personal connection with the mistreatment of gun controls. By mentioning either of these biases, would be important to mention before a reader attempts to maintain an objective view of the article

Guns are vital in today’s society, dividing the country, especially families with debates over the use of guns. Sarah Vowell is a citizen who disagrees with the use of guns, talking about her experience with a gun and her family in her essay “Shooting Dad”. Using many rhetorical techniques in her essay, she sends a message within her story, telling the audience reading her story that guns are not worth it. Vowell’s use of many different techniques helps the story come to life, explaining her life with guns around and how someone gets weak when someone has a gun around.

Advertisements are everywhere. From billboards, to magazines, to newspapers, flyers and TV commercials, chances are that you won’t go a day without observing some sort of ad. In most cases, companies use these ads as persuasive tools, deploying rhetorical appeals—logos, pathos, and ethos—to move their audiences to think or act in a certain way. The two magazine ads featured here, both endorsing Pedigree products, serve as excellent examples of how these modes of persuasion are strategically used.

Approximately twenty percent of adults in the United States smoke cigarettes, it is this habit which is the number one cause of death that is easily preventable. Anti-smoking advertisements are seen throughout our society, usually showing the harmful effects of tobacco through graphic pictures or other shocking images. The advertisement I chose is a black and white image, showing a young man smoking a cigarette, with the smoke from it forming a gun pointed at his head. Off to the side appear the words, “Kill a cigarette, save a life. Yours.” The advertisement makes use of the three rhetorical appeals of logos, ethos, and pathos through its image and implied meanings. Through this, the image is able to convey a strong sense of danger and bring awareness to the deadliness of smoking.

The article “Hey, kids, don’t forget your guns” is a very interesting piece. I assume this article is serious and not sarcastic for many reasons. Why would we arm kindergarteners with weapons when we want to teach kids the moral of peace and how fighting is unjustified. The author tells us that students need certain requirements to pass their school. He feels that it’s justifiable that kids should also learn self-defense with weapons as one of their requirements too. The author gives many supporting facts why children should be armed with firearms making his article serious in his perspective. If it was taken as a joke there would have been more sarcasm and hilarity towards the

Purpose: The purpose of my presentation is to persuade the American people that guns are beneficial to the United States and should not be controlled or abolished by the government.

Gun violence and gun safety has always been a concern in the United States. Now more than every groups on both sides are standing up for what they believe. During this last election, the topic of Gun control is a big one, however now that Donald Trump is President, the right is rejoicing while the left is starting to come together to demand more gun control in the United States. Both groups put out advertisements and while some focus on gun control and others on gun safety, both sides use four things to effectively get their point across; logos, pathos, ethos, and kairos.

This story fits with the content of this class. While we have not discussed chapter six in class yet, we will be shorty. Included in this chapter is a brief discussion of gun deaths of children. 3,000 children are killed by handguns every year.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution entitles citizens the right to possess and bear arms; which has continually been an important issue for decades. Gun control is not just one concern, but rather many, within a common category. One may consider gun control a crime issue, while to others it may be a rights issue. Inside each and every issue, there are particular people who want more gun control legislation, and those who want less. Dorothy Samuels does a phenomenal job of portraying her stand on gun control through the use of ethos, logos, and pathos, in her article, “Wrong on Gun Rights”. Samuels utilizes the rhetorical strategies in order to persuade the audience into agreeing with her views.

television advertisement companies, main intention is to captivate the audience in other to purchase their product that they are portraying. In this essay, I will be analyzing these two ads, “Whale” (Old Spice) and “Susan Glenn” (Axe). These ads are formulated to get their products noticed, along with sparking the interest of the other goods they may offer. Countless methods are used to convince the audience that’s being targeted to buy the product. Therefore, these ads are similar in its ability to gain the attention of their audiences by appealing to pathos. Through this essay I will analyze the rhetorical effects that help bring these commercials to life.

Advertisers use a variety of appeals to convince the viewer’s to buy certain products or bring a topic to the awareness of the viewer. The anti-child abuse announcement that San Francisco Human Services Agency released is no different. A public service announcement is designed to publicize a problem the nation is facing. Advertisements can appeal to the audience through a variety of elements such as images and speech. In this advertisement pathos and ethos are represented through the sounds and visual content while logos is presented through the statistics given at the end of the advertisement. With this advertisement it is also important to consider the

In 2016 there were 33,636 deaths due to injuries by firearms and 73,505 nonfatal injuries. Compared to many of the other countries on the same level of development, the US has soaring numbers relating to homicide rates because of gun violence. For such a developed country you would suspect the citizens to be less prone to start violence. It makes you question if everyone really should be allowed to carry firearms. When laws allow people with mental illnesses to obtain fire-arms it is transparent that there needs to be an alternative. Numerous cartoonists have illustrated their views on the issue of gun control, including Nick Anderson in the political cartoon “The Rise of Guns,”.In this cartoon, Anderson brings to light that it is easier for those diagnosed with a mental illness to legally obtain a gun than to get help from a professional. This political cartoon was created in 2013, during the time there were several school shootings happening around the US.Anderson’s use of arrangement and symbolism to create an emotional appeal is effective in exposing weaknesses in a common argument against everyone’s right to bear arms.
